Lauren & Dan
Wedding Party
Michelle Young
Matron of Honor
Michelle is my sister! I can’t remember a childhood memory where she wasn’t right by my side. No literally… we shared a room and slept in the same bed until she went to college. Life wouldn’t have been the same without her and either would my wedding!
Joe Moorman
Best Man
Joe is my best friend. Pure and simple. I first met Joe at The Haven in South City. He came in, sat in the booth next to me, and ordered a Crown and lime. Then I introduced him to Manhattans and he introduced me to The Dresden Files. We've been friends ever since. Joe is always there to listen to me rant and to call me out when I'm wrong. He's always been a true friend. We've survived a lot together (and I do mean A LOT) and I honeslty can't even think of standing up at the altar without him by my side.
Teresa Huelsing
Maid of Honor
I met Teresa through work, but she is much more than just a coworker. Over the last several years she has become one of my closest friends. We work, travel, and spend much of our free time side by side. I can’t imagine the most important day of my life without her by my side!
Matt Johnson
Groomsman
I've technically known Matt, or as we all call him Johnson, since high school even though we really didn't start hanging out until after. Matt has been one of my best friends ever since. He is always there to make me laugh or hear me rant. I know that no matter what trouble I get into Matt will always offer a helping hand. I can't wait to have Matt standing by my side on our day.
Alma Ludwig
Bridesmaid
I met Alma in college. We spent countless hours studying, partying, laughing, and of course playing Mario Kart. Our lives are much different now and despite the distance (she lives in Chicago) we still have maintained a friendship that I hope will last a lifetime.
Justin Nickrent
Groomsman
Oh where do I even start? Justin is probably my oldest friend. We met freshman year at Saint Mary's and have been friends ever since. We eventually made it out of high school alive. Some of my fondest memories are from hanging out with Justin either playing Halo in his mom's basement or sneaking out to the East Side for a concert at Pop's. He even gave me the honor of being the Godfather to his children. Justin and I have stood with each other through a lot of ups and downs. I could not celebrate this next step without him.
Analise Donovan
Bridesmaid
I met Analise working at Barnes. She is the quirkiest, most loving, and most loyal person I have ever met. She doesn’t let anyone or anything get in the way of our friendship. She is someone I know will always be in my corner to help celebrate, comfort, and confront all of lives ups and downs.
Kyle Miller
Groomsman
Kyle is Joe's cousin and I first met him at some random beer event. We quickly bonded over our love of craft beer and hunting. After countless BBQs, bonfires, and Blues games at Kyle's house he quickly became one of my best friends. He seriously knows his way around a grill. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
Jess Schardan
Bridesmaid
I also met Jess working at Barnes. She is the funniest and most straightforward person out there. She is a Britney loving, Lil Dicky rapping, blonde spark plug that is always there to make me laugh. I can’t imagine my wedding day without hearing her laugh clear across the room.
Justin Hendershot
Groomsman
I met Justin through Kyle and we bonded over our love of all things nerdy. He is normally the first one I ask for a book series recommendation and we always share our newest finds with each other. Over the past few years Justin and I have had a lot of great times and I can't wait to celebrate at the wedding!
Kaitlin Moore
Bridesmaid
Kaitlin was the first person I met when I came to St. Louis. We were randomly assigned roommates at STLCOP our freshman year and it is unquestionably the best thing STLCOP ever did for me. Kaitlin was a great roommate and even better friend. She was family when mine was far away and I can’t imagine saying, “I do” without her!
Aaron DeGreeff
Groomsman
I have known Aaron since high school but we never really crossed paths. It wasn't until I began hanging around Matt that we were reintroduced. Aaron has been a constant good presence in my life. He is always ready to listen to me rant and is always there to call me out when I'm wrong. I can't wait to celebrate this day with him by my side.
